a Fruitful Stirring Up.

Whenever Mr.. Micawber, before an
informal court, revealed the character
of Uriah Keeps method of getting on
in the world, the truth flashed upon
Mrs. Betsy Trotwood as to how she
had lost her property. She immedi-
ately became an interested party in
Uriah's difficulties and made a person.

tention of somehow shaking her money
out of him. In the matter of the I'm
ion Pacific consolidation certain for
eign security-holders have been enlight-
eHed by the pending Governmental in
quiry very much as Mrs. Betsy Trot-
wood was.
And they propose to get, if they can.
what they think is their share of the
profits, which Mr.. Gould made out of
their securities. These profits, being
estimated at SS,000,00O, more or less.
are worth striving for. But if they do
make Mr.. Gould disgorge, then it will
be in order for them to turn the money
over to the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, in order to strengthen the
latter's capacity to pay its debts to the
United States. This is the logical Sc
quence of the fact that though Mr..
Gould used the securities in question
as tools to secure the millions specified.
the millions themselves came from the
Union Pacific property, which was di-
luted to enable them to be drawn out.
There may be an equity in the premi-
ses which would allow the foreigners
to retain some of the money but not
very much.
The Pacific railroad record is indeed
a muddy mess to disturb. No wonder
there was a desire to close the books
forever by the defeated funding
scheme. Here is one important suit
started already. There will be much
more brought to the surface for the
stirring. The people may not got

Carlton Items.

John Mcdonald is rusticating in our
village for few days.
DR.. Patten has gone to Dillon to-day
on a professional visit.
John Watts is slowly recovering from
his late illness.
John Carney, a young man living a
few miles south of town was bitten by
RATHER this morning. He came to
town at once and put himself under the
care of DR.. Homie.
Judge Dewey and wife, of Abilene,
took dinner at the Haley House yester-
day.
Quite a number of our people go to
Abilene to-day to do honor to the hon
ored dead who served in the Civil war.
| Rev. Halbert returned last evening
from Omaha, where he had been at
tending the meeting of the synod of the
Presbyterian church.
James Raymond is now a resident
citizen of Carlton. His wife having
quit the employ of Hazlett & Co., they
have gone to keeping house and Jim is
contented and happy.
The first flour of the new mill was
rolled out last Thursday. 1t is of a
good quality and all Carlton and sur
rounding country are delighted. Smith
& Co. have done themselves proud in
this enterprise, for which they receive
the hearty congratulations of all our
people.
The school in district number 80,
closed last Thursday, May 18th. Hav-
ing been the teacher of that school for
sixteen months, we take this opportu-
nifty of saying that no pleasanter school
of children could be found in Dickinson
county. To the parents and pupils
alike wish to extend my thanks for
their good will and support.
F. L. Fuller, cashier of the Carlton
bank, has his new residence almost
completed. When done it will be the
handsomest building in the town.
Last Saturday Carlton was alive with
people. The Southwest Dickinson
county Sunday-school convention met
at the Presbyterian church. 1t was
presided over by Mr.. John Gibson, of |
Jefferson township. The attendance
was large and much interest was taken |
by all present in the work of the day.
At noon the crowd went from the
church to the grove North, where was
spread dinner good enough for a
prince. After two hours pleasantly /
spent in the grove, the crowd returned
to the church and completed the work
of the day.
Of the many visitors from abroad we
noticed Rev. Bright, Judge Dewey and
wife, of Abilene, Rev. Harrington and
Rev. Hills, of Banner City, and many
others from different parts of the
county. HOOsIER.

Rhode Island Democratic.

There is a belief that Rhode Island
will remain Democratic state. The
law there prevents naturalized citi-
zen from voting unless he has SIS4
worth of real estate. There are Sc 900
men of voting age in Rhode Island,
but only $4,000 are returned as quail
fed voters. A surface inference would
be that the $4,000 are foreign born.
Such, however, is not the case. There
are $4,000 native born who have not
qualified. The superstition is that
these 1900 are principally Democrats.
who have not qualified simply because
they looked upon Democratic prospects
in the state as hopeless.
One of the devices for maintaining
Republican supremacy is to require the
payment of taxes nearly year ahead
of the election in order to qualify a
voter. The presumption is that the
$4,000 Democrats have not concerned
themselves to make this early payment
heretofore, but that they win do so
now that the state is in Democratic
hands.
All this certainly makes out very
plausible case. 1t would be strange if
Rhode Island should turn out, after all,
to have been all this time a Democratic
state in disguise, SO to speak.

ped Kind of Crankism.

Tier - i disposition III CERTAIN CIT
cles /" r"gard Commissioner Sparks, of
the Laud Ciiice, as a crank on the land
quest. Il. l acre are some things bow
ever, as 10 which it profits the people to
have cranks in office-that is. if crank
be the proper word to use in this con-
nectioil The man who is cranky, in
the ordinary acceptance of the to- H.
by which is meant the man Who is
unusually and uncompromlslngly
anxious to enforce the law and secure
the people justice pretty safe sort
of man for the people to tie to, and
Commissioner Sparks is conspicuous
example of that class.
Sometimes, in his anxiety, he puts
citizens to some inconvenience, that it
is unfair they should suffer, but his
main object is to get back the public
lands that have been stolen, and to pre-
vent any more being robbed from us ;
and if in the pursuit of this object he is
occasionally little severe on those who
have done or intend no wrong, it is be-
cause the land business was so wretch
eddy administered, SO generally neglect
ed, that there has not yet been oppor-
tunity for dealing with every case just
as it should be dealt with. Where the
honest man is the exception in the
crowd with which an officer is called to
deal, the honest man cannot fairly
blame the officer if he is roughly dealt
with, even though it be not his fault
that such crowd is about him.
Largely through Mr.. Sparks efforts,
the administration is now in possession
of the facts that will make possible just
and vigorous treatment of the land
grabbers. The purpose of the Secretary
of the Interior to revoke the orders Of
the withdrawal of railroad indemnity
lands made by his predecessors from
time to time, comes primarily from
what Mr.. Sparks has done to make
plain that they should be withdrawn,
and by that move fully $4,000, 600 acres
will be thrown open to settlement and
entry. For such a boon to the whole
people as this, the few can afford a
little temporary inconvenience, and the
whole people can afford, if need be, to
make that few proper compensation.
This is a great country and it would
be a long while, in the ordinary course,
before it could become subject to a
cruel landlordism, such as Ireland suf-
fers, for instance; but there is a limit
even to our vast area; there is mar
velous constant increase of our pOpula-
ton, and of late the land gourmands
have been proceeding at a rate that, if
not checked, would in few years make
the ultimate gobble of practically every
acre a mere question of time, and
short time at that. Commissioner
Sparks crankism is simply the mani
festation of very earnest and certain
ly commendable desire to lead in effect
ing such a check. There can never be
too much crankism of that kind.

Mr.. Georges statement that he is
opposed to Blaine and the methods of
Blaine, but believes in separate labor
nomination, will lie constructed by the
incredulOus as indicating the same
kind of opposition to the Republican
nominee that Butler and the Sun dis
played in 1884. We do not charge Mr..
George with insincerity in this matter,
but it is reasonable to presume that
people understand the plain conSe-
quences of their own acts. The pro-
ceedings of the latest Cooper Institute
meeting have gone far to diminish the
Importance of the sayings of several
labor agitators. The American people
have so great an aversion to assassina-
ton in politics that any trace of SYM
pathy with dynamite methods incurs
universal unpopularity. With regard

row thatso eminent clergyman should

During her recent visit to the Cont
nent, Queen Victoria visited the mon
aStery of the Grand Chartreuse. No
woman is ever allowed to pass the sa-
cred threshold of this superb house of
religion; and from this regulation dis
pensation can only be granted by the
Pope himself. Hitherto only one lady
and she Roman Catholic Queen
has entered the monastery. The Pope's
dispensation being obtained, the Queen
of England was the second woman to
enter this abode of solitude and devo-
ton to Almighty God. Her majesty
was accompanied by her maid of honor,
and this brings up the number of fe-
male visitors to three. After viewing
the splendid buildings, and talking with
the Superior and some of the monks,
her majesty was informed that one of
the Fathers was Russian general who
had fought in the Crimean War, and
that one of the Brothers was a rich
young Englishman, who had Joined the
order four years before, when he was
eighteen years old.
